Only thing to suggest is turning Wifi off then back on in the settings. I have no issues with full 5Ghz N signal anywhere in my house or out on the patio. It's very fast and solid signal. Using the AIrport Xtreme as router. If it seems to be an issue I'd swap it out for a new one.

Did you just hold down the home and sleep button until it reset, or did they give you other instructions?

I am still having the same issue. Extremely weak signal.

for eg. using speedtest.net app on the iPhone gives me close to 15mbits/sec but with iPad I get 1.7 mbits/sec. Huge difference. I feel the difference while surfing the websites. My Macbook with N is extremely fast and so is my iPhone. I have N router. I did a restore to default factry settings through iTunes on advise on the phone from Apple tech support guys but still no use.

I would like to know if anyone tried connecting another wifi network like Barnes and Noble or Borders and check if the issue still exists.
Let me know.

I might return mine tomorrow. Looks like a some sort of bug (hardware or Software).

Same problem here. Connection sucks. How did you do the hard reset on the Ipad?

Ok i made my router into "G only mode" and now the speed is amazing. I get 20 mbits/sec compared to 1.5 mbits that i was getting in the morning. Hope this helps atleast for a while. I have router wrt160N linksys.

My brother and dad both have gotten iPads and I had my hands on them for a couple hours total and I must say I am incredibly satisfied with how it interacts with the internet. The wifi connection and speed was great for me, if that helps at all.

I thought I had this issue at first but them played around with some settings. I am using a WRT610N and seems to be good now. Gets the same signal as my iPhone does. Max speed I have been able to get out of a speedtest is close to 10Mbits. I am on a 40Mbit connection.

Hey guys, got a 32GB iPad while home from school this past weekend and I've been loving every minute of it. Now I'm back on campus (UT Austin) and I can't seem to connect to either the public guest network or the restricted student network, both of which work perfectly well on the iPod Touch. Normally the procedure is to go to Safari, and a window will pop saying connecting. Shortly after a login screen will come up and a button prompting me to setup the restricted network will come up. The page auto-detects the iPod and a connection profile will be downloaded and installed connecting me to the restricted network.

On the iPad it perpetually spins before it gets to the profile download page. I assume it's that the page can't recognize iPads but it won't even let me connect to the guest network which worked back when the iPod Touch first came out. Anyone have any luck with university networks?
